+ i915.invert_brightness=
+ [DRM] Invert the sense of the variable that is used to
+ set the brightness of the panel backlight. Normally a
+ brightness value of 0 indicates backlight switched off,
+ and the maximum of the brightness value sets the backlight
+ to maximum brightness. If this parameter is set to 0
+ (default) and the machine requires it, or this parameter
+ is set to 1, a brightness value of 0 sets the backlight
+ to maximum brightness, and the maximum of the brightness
+ value switches the backlight off.
+ -1 -- never invert brightness
+ 0 -- machine default
+ 1 -- force brightness inversion

noxsave [BUGS=X86] Disables x86 extended register state save

+ Selecting 'on' will, and 'auto' may, choose a

+ Specific mitigations can also be selected manually:
